Amos 7:1-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

7 These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the locust was formed in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter rain, and lo, it was the latter rain after the king's mowing.

² And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, I said: O Lord God, be merciful, I beseech thee: who shall raise up Jacob, for he is very little?

³ The Lord had pity upon this: It shall not be, said the Lord.

⁴ These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the Lord called for judgment unto fire, and it devoured the great deep, and ate up a part at the same time.

⁵ And I said: O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee, who shall raise up Jacob, for he is a little one?

⁶ The Lord had pity upon this. Yea this also shall not be, said the Lord God.
